Exactly! I used to call it “Escalation-Burnout Syndrome”. That’s how I’d describe it to people. Whenever I overdid it or was overloaded mentally, physically or emotionally, I’d crash or my body would rebel and get sick, often with vomiting and diarrhea and/or viral symptoms. This all started 29 years ago with a Traumatic Brain Injury, so I’m sure there’s strong neurological involvement here. My acupuncturist and I realized that what gave me more energy was “calming” my system, “calming” my brain.
